Excellent Bike Tour in Amsterdam - Very well organized and easy to set up and go! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour had nuance due to his background from Portugal. Highly recommend

Holiday cycling tours with my son - Can’t recommend this company highly enough. We did two tours - the City tour with the regular bikes and the country tour with the e-bikes (make sure you book both in same booking to get the discount). Very conveniently located start point, adjacent to Central Station. The bikes were very easy to use for those who are not regular cyclists. And to answer a question I had in advance, everyone just wore regular clothes including jeans - no cycling gear required! Both tour guides were excellent and looked after our group well. Our City guide Christian was very welcoming and informed about history and culture in the city, keeping us entertained and answering our many questions along the way. Ludo on the Country tour also a very nice guy with an interesting perspective. We had some good conversations about Netherlands culture. Both made sure the groups which were very mixed in age and riding experience were safe and stayed together. These tours are a great way of seeing Amsterdam and surrounding area without the worries of having the navigate through unfamiliar terrain by yourself.

Great tour - Great guide. Engaging and fun trip. Awesome way to see the city. I highly recommend Mike bike tour. In general it’s an easy bike ride but if you have mobility problems or haven’t ridden a bike in many years upgrade and go with an ebike

Great bike ride and information. - Excellent bike ride through Amsterdam. Although I was glad to be done as the bike traffic is a lot crazier than what we are used to in Canada 🇨🇦. But he did a great job as he was passionate and knowledgeable about this city's history. Glad I did it. Thanks
